Wondering what all the buzz is at your public library? Come join “Catch the Reading Bug” Summer Reading Program and discover the amazing world of insects. The 2008 Summer Reading Program is open to children from two years of age clear through to fourth grade. All programs are free of charge. Registration for the program will run from May 12th to May 17th at the Ainsworth Public Library.
The children will be divided into four different groups: Toddlers, Preschoolers, K-1st Grade, and 2-4th Grade. Children will sign up by the grade they were in for the 2007-2008 school year. Each child in K-4th Grade will need to sign up in person so they can receive their Reading Time Slips. Due to this fact, there will be no sign-ups done over the phone.
Toddler Time is for young children the ages of two and three years old. We ask that an adult stay with the child. Toddler Time will be on Tuesdays in June from 4 – 4:30 p.m. Preschool Time is for children age four and five that have not yet attended grade school. Preschool Time will be on Tuesdays in June from 1-2 p.m. Dates will be June 3rd, 10th, 17th, and 24th. The grade school age children will come on Thursdays during June for their Fun-Hour. Kindergarten and First Graders will be here from 1-2 p.m. while the Second, Third, and Fourth Graders will be here from 3-4 p.m. Dates will be June 5th, 12th, 19th, and 26th. The K-Fourth Grade groups will keep track of time read from June 1st to June 28th. Reading Time Slips will be due by 6 p.m. on June 30th. Prizes and awards will be handed out at the Ending Picnic for readers in the K-4th grade group on July 2nd from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
For more information, call the Library at 387-2032 or stop by in person and ask for the Queen Bee (Gail Irwin). Please “Bee” our guest at the Library this summer and join the fun at the “Library Ant-ics”!
